Week 1 | Connecting With God

Day Two

Spend some time in prayer before you begin. Acknowledge the Holiness of God and repent to Him for any sins that might keep you from experiencing His word fully today.

• Reread Jeremiah 29:13-14 but this time try reading it in a different version than you did before, look up the definitions of words you don’t know, summarise what the passage is saying in your own words.
• Do some research, who wrote the book of Jeremiah? When was it written? To whom was it written? What genre of writing is it (Historical narrative, poetry, wisdom literature, law, prophesy, parables, epistles)? Why is all of this important?
• Do you think this passage teaches us about God’s creation, man’s sin, God’s redemption of man, or God’s restoration of man to Himself? It can be more than one. Why is it important to think about this?
• How does knowing God will find you and bring you back to Himself change how you view Him? Why do you think God would do this for you?
• What does this passage say about what we need to do with God?
• Spend some time in prayer as you close, acknowledge what you learned about His character through this word. Repent to Him any sin issues this word brought up in your heart.
